Festival Fever 2019 - Shepdog

@zerot
We're stoked to release our latest Minirig Mixtape, from none other than Drum and Bass legend Zero T! With a career spanning over 20 years since his first release, Irishman Cian McCann has solidified his name through both his own releases, as well as collaborations with the likes of Calibre, Alix Perez, Icicle and Noisa over the years. With a 6 track EP forthcoming on Metalheadz on Feb 7th, we're delighted to bring you an hour of dnb goodness... with a cheeky few not-yet-released numbers in there for good measure.

Zero T - Minirig Mixtape

Nominated as one of Reggaeville's best albums of 2019, Origin One's "Deeply Rooted" covered many bases, showing the producers deep love of dub, reggae, dancehall, hip hop and also jungle. Entrenched in the Nottingham soundsystem scene, the influences run deep, none more so than on the jungle infused "Tribute". Enlisting the help of drum & bass legend MC Spyda (known for the anthem "Tarantula" amongst many others) and afro warrior K.O.G, this tune proved very popular with fans, so we thought it only right we give it a proper release with a couple of remixes.

Stepping up first is Metalheadz very own Zero T who gives the track a sparse rolling relick, throwing back to the classic vibe of 90s drum & bass whilst keeping the emotions raw and the drums choppy. Doing the rounds as an exclusive dub for over 6 months has helped buld the demand for this killer remix. Next up, Italian soundboys Sub Alpine get their smoke on for a digital rubadub rework, building a whole new riddim from the ground up and adding their own style.

Exiles EP

Zero T & Beta 2 - Exiles

‣ Available here: backl.ink/exilesep
‣ Website/Bandcamp release date: 03 February 2020
‣ General release date: 07 February 2020

The highly esteemed Irish duo Zero T & Beta 2 are back on Metalheadz with the 'Exiles EP' - a true, modern-day reproduction of the vintage Metalheadz sound that cemented the labels roots 25 years ago.

Comprising of 6 tracks on the full release, the EP can at times destroy dancefloors with the likes of 'Exiles' and 'Dead Cert', whilst the richly enchanting tones of 'Misdemeanour' and 'Altered Destiny' swiftly serenade the listener at every opportunity. This is a true epitomisation of the definition of a complete package and one that has so far had a strong response from the duo’s peers and heroes within the scene, with a call from Dillinja to Goldie justifiably being the icing on the cake.

With his first release in 1999, London based Irishman Cian McCann has long since established his place in the scene. From his early days in Dublin with the Bassbin label, to working with the likes of Calibre,4 Hero, Klute, Alix Perez, Icicle and Noisia, he has never stood still. 

2008's Cheap Shots LP for Total Science's CIA Records was a high point, with the lead track "Walk Away" bringing fellow Dubliner Steo to the worlds attention. 

Also a noted remixer, Zero T has retouched artists as diverse as Dillinja, Slam, Goldie, Sabre, Lemon D, Lenzman and Lenny Fontana.

Zero T's discography reflects the diversity that his DJ sets have always shown, ranging from full vocal smoothness to more rolling, dance floor styles. 

You are as likely to find his music on labels like Metalheadz and Shogun as on Soul:r or Signature.

2010 saw two milestones reached. The launch of Footprints; Zero T's own label, and compiling and mixing FABRICLIVE052 for the esteemed London venue.

After a short period away from the scene, 2014 saw the return of Zero T as a producer, remixer and DJ with a Metalheadz debut and a spate of collaborations with the legendary Fierce on the highly regarded Quarantine.

2015 saw the long awaited sophomore album, this time coming on Dispatch Recordings, entitled "Golden Section”, along with a glut of appearances on Shogun Audio, Soul:r, Fokuz and Spearhead.

2016/17 saw more releases on Quarantine, Metalheadz, Integral, Spearhead and Horizons, along with plenty of remixes for the likes of Lenzman, Noisia, Gerra + Stone, SATL and many more. 

The last number of years have also seen Zero T touring extensively in the UK, Europe, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

2018 saw the release of the third Zero T album ‘Little Pieces’ on Dispatch Recordings, featuring guest appearances from Steo, DRS, Stamina, Villem and Beta 2. He also released an EP on Lenzman’s label The North Quarter entitled "Baby Grand", collaborated with Phase on Metalheadz and GLXY Shogun Audio and delivered another batch of remixes for Metalheadz, Dispatch and several other labels. 

2019 brought a debut solo 12" on 31 Recordings, a remix of Goldie, an extended EP with Beta 2 on Metalheadz, an EP with Steo on Integral, appearances on both V Recordings and Metalheadz 25 year anniversary LP's and much more!

2020 highlights included another EP on The North Quarter, a debut on Sofa Sound Bristol and the usual raft of remixes and guest appearances.

Forward thinking record label with reggae at its heart, but encapsulating hip hop, dub, dancehall, drum & bass, jungle, dubstep and beyond.

Taking in the rich history of soundsystem culture and spitting it back out for modern dance floors.
